Hi guys,

I've been visiting this forum for a while now gathering information for a planned trip to China. I'm a newbie, but I have narrowed my search down to China, particularly Hong Kong. I'm a collage graduate with double major is history and English literature. I don't have a certificate to teach, but I assume I can get one by taking a class this summer. Now on to my question:

Granting that I've procrastinated this long, is it still possible to find work for this fall in Hong Kong, or failing that anywhere else in the mainland? By work I mean something that will allow me to live comfortably and possibly save a little money. If this is possible what should I do next? What are the best places to find work (I can find plenty about the worst)? I realize I'm asking elementary questions but any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks All

You should post this on the Hong Kong forum.

you can definitely find work on the mainland, an array of choices.

i'd guess things are still open in HK too.

plenty of people do exactly the same thing - i'm gonna be looking for jobs in the next 2 weeks.

leave all these self-labels out - "procrastinating idiot" - just assess the situation you're in, and do what you want to do. regret is a fallacious emotion, an evolutionary irrelevancy that does more harm than good. (psychology 101... Confused )
